Features and Properties
■Features
- 2-Octyl Acrylate (2OA) is made from non-edible biobased alcohol derived from castor oil.
- It exhibits significantly lower skin irritation compared to 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2EHA), even though both products have the same molecular weight. As a result, 2OA is a monomer that contributes to operators’ safety.
- 2OA can serve as a suitable replacement for 2EHA due to its similar reactivity as a monomer.
- 2OA has unique properties that distinguish it from conventional monomers and can be applied to a wide range of applications.
■Adhesive Properties
Polymerization and adhesiveness of 2OA are comparable to conventional monomers.
